WELCOME


Welcome to the 2 Meranti Blog, Magnificent 36. Yeah! blog, the hottest thing to hit pop culture since Jennifer Anniston's Friends haircut.

Here, the 36 students of the 2 Meranti class ( Class of 2008 ) offer their thoughts on happenings in school and off school. It's a great way to keep up-to-date.

In the beginning, blogging was relegated to techie types or ubergeeks but now blogging has become one of the biggest, fastest-growing trends around. We mean big. Bigger than Paris Hilton's sunglasses - and that is BIG. So fellow Merantians...your thoughts and views are welcome here.

But before we get the ball rolling, some ground rules:-

1. No vulgarities;
2. No political views;
3. No religious views;
4. No dissing the school, teachers, friends or foes alike.

Please note that each student is responsible for his/her own blog entry/posting. Anonymous blog entries/postings will be rejected. Blog entries/postings can either be in Bahasa Malaysia or English but do remember to keep your postings blog friendly.

The administrators of this blog i.e. Choong Pauline, Gwen Lee, Lee Yu Kit and Sara Wong reserve the right to change, edit posts as and when deemed fit.

Peace out.

INTRODUCTION - MAGNIFICENT MERANTIANS


We are a group of typical teenagers from different background, race and religion. We are noisy, loud, obnoxious, sassy, brilliant ( hopefully ), insightful ( maybe ) and overbearing to the core ( sometimes ). We are still trying to find our footing and bearing on this huge spinning ball we call Earth, despite being here for 14 years. 14 years, as we all know equal to 70 dog years, since we're all born in the year of the DOG ( chinese zodiac ), we have learned to live like dogs. Which means we know how to live longer! I'm not insulting us! Now, an intro. on our names ( they aren't doggy names ). We are :-

We're gonna party like, like it's 2011!

Wow, gosh, it's been like what? 3 whole friggin' years since any one of the admins has posted something on this blog? Tsk tsk, what good admins we have, eh?


Oh well, then I guess it's up to this admin to show em how it's done =D


Shoo, dust bunnies! Yeah, go on and retreat to your little burrows.


Now, without scrolling all the way down till the very end, try guessing which admin posted this =D


Yes that was a mini challenge, take it if you will, ignore it if you're a pussy/chicken/homo coward.


.



Anyway,



Hey, how's everyone been? 3 years is one heck of a long time. Even longer than Merlin's beard, if he ever had one, that is.


Ok now don't tell me you don't know who Merlin is. How about King Arthur? Knights of the oblong round table?


Okay then, bad referrance. 3 years is longer than 2 periods of Add Maths! Aha! Now that's something we can all relate to, yes?


There's no doubt that form 5/being 17 is undoubtedly without a doubt one of the most hectic stages in a teenager’s life.


Most of us even start reminiscing like old farts about the good old days, back in form 2, which was when this ol’ blog was created for that blog competition that we won, hands down. Yup, we beat those other crummy classes with our resplendent and splendorous command of language (thanks to the admins) as well as our blog-fashion sense and choice of colours and pictures (kudos to Sara, Gwen and Pauline).


Oh don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about the contribution our other classmates had…contributed (couldn’t really think of a more suitable word. ‘Given/Provided’ doesn’t really seem that nice)…for this blog.


Everyone contributed by just being plain magnificent in their own way =)


Yes, all we had to worry about at that time was “makan, what to do after school and also which girl/guy was interested in which other guy/girl”, as quoted by one particular Merantian whose real name will not be revealed until later on in this post, otherwise it’d be a pretty large hint for ya if you’re still pondering on which devious admin decided to bask this blog in such glorious light by updating. And btw, that last part about the guy/girl thing was added on by yours truly.


Let’s travel back to a time when the spouting of each other’s parents’ names was considered a social norm and yet we’d all still get ticked off about it.


A time when JB meant Jonas Brothers and not Justin Biever (yes that was done on purpose). And also when the name ‘Rebecca’ didn’t end with the colour black.


A time when Friday automatically brought up the letters "T.G.I.F." rather than the lyrics "Friday~Friday~Gotta get down on Friday".


A time when motorbike riders, aka Mat Rempits roamed the streets instead of bicycle riding pixies, I mean Fixies.


A time when Mishah was still our principal and Shukri was still a nice guy. Back when none of us were prefects and we were all seen as individuals rather than distinguished by class, rank or even relationship status.


It’s because I cherish those moments that I decided to rekindle our class spirit by reigniting the dwindling flame we have in each of us, the flame of the Magnificent 36.


Contrary to popular belief, lingering in the past will not necessarily cause you to forgo the future, as many philosophers seem to claim. Instead, reaching into the past and realizing our mistakes and proud moments will undoubtedly aid us in our journey towards the future.


And so with that, with the power bestowed upon me as an admin of this blog, I officially commence the Re-opening ceremony for this blog.


*Snip!* (sound of the cutting of the ribbon that usually symbolises the beginning of something)


Welcome, magnificent.blogspot.com, to the year 2011!


P.S. tune in to the next post by me for a blast from the past.


P.S.S. someone needs to fix that ImageShack slideshow.


P.S.S.S. do not fret, I haven’t forgotten to reveal who posted this, slumber la sikit….it’s…the person below Kugendran a/l PONNIAH in the name list.


P.S.S.S.S. btw, the hotmail account for this blog has, somehow, been suspended. So if anyone still needs help from Mr. Agony, you're welcome to send your problems in the form of emails to lifeisboringx@gmail.com, addressed to Mr. Agony. Seriously, if you've got a problem, tell it to someone, I'm not saying it'll solve said problem, but it'll help you get another person's point of view.


P.S.S.S.S.S. please leave a comment after reading, it'll give me a sign that this blog isn't as dead as it appears to be =D


Peace out. (Wow, I miss this)


Under the Meranti Tree, (I miss this even more!)



Cik Shahzehan!



Naww, just kidding.



En. Khairi!



“Bwahahaha, now you’ll ALL get suspended!”



Not.



Mr. Wobbly! “Wobble wobble”



I bet you don’t know who that is…do you?



Okay, seriously this time.





Peace out.

Class Party!!

On the 22nd of October 2008, a class party was held in SMKSBS. Sadly, our class had to do it at ruang legar kantin. That's not really an ideal spot for parties. Everyone was having fun and was a little bit of crazy but what the heck, it's a party! What suprised me more is Kugendran actually acted pretty normal that day. I took some pictures from the party so get a good look at it!


Almost all the guys in 2M. Some are missing, some are avoiding the camera. And I only have the all guys pic. Sorry girls, I didn't take the pics.

Our dear class monitor, Choong Pauline trying to commit suicide. The guys are trying their hardest to convince her to jump?? The pic was quite dark without flashlight so you can't see those idiotic guys from below.

The guys are cheering for Yu Kit to jump up the wall which is ...uhm... 180cm or something??

Peter was hiding behind the wall trying to scare the heck out of Yu Kit when he jumps. But ....

This is what happens.. Yu Kit didn't manage to jump up the wall but his expression is really hilarious. Another thing, the guys from below are all slapping his butt.

You might be wondering what they're doing. It's kinda "dirty" if you want explanation from this... well.. keep on looking

They look like gays, don't they? And in case you didn't know, it's Tiong Chin and Yu Kit in the picture.

I nearly forgot! This is our cute and chubby class teacher, Cik Shahzehan!

Before we had class party, there's Hari Anugerah Kokurikulum. I managed to take San's picture while he's rapping on stage. Somehow, he looke like he had lack of confidence that day.

They look funny that's why I took the picture. So called "ghosts or zombies" dancing on stage. You don't see them very often, do you?

This is the pengakap's performance. Those guys look so gay. Well, that's what you get when you were trained by Fahry.

Well, that's all the pictures I have. Some are pretty boring so I don't bother posting them. I'm only in charge of posting the pictures. If you like the pictures here, thank you but if you think it's bad or anything, feel free to leave a comment.

2)That's it!

Cross-country run/ Merentas Desa

Hiya everyone! Long time no see! (wait, can I see you? NOPE). Well, I'll just go straight to the main topic. It's our school's cross-country run! or you may call it Merentas Desa. Well, I think you all know what is cross-country. You DO, don't you?

I think almost everyone came, if I'm not wrong. Well, we started the day with lining up according to our house, and then with the dancing kind of um....warm up. It was entertaining, yeah! Entertaining!

After the ENTERTAINING warm up dance (however you call it), the girls started the run first. The girls gathered and it was crowded with....girls. And with the "PIN" sound, we started running. After a while, everyone was tired, and started jogging, and then walking, and talking, and laughing, and...and...that's it. By the end of the race (girls), everyone was exhausted, sweating profusely and trying hard to carry their feet to the dataran and drop to the floor. *faints* Then, they got their feet back up and head straight for the canteen, drooling and saying, "FOOD! WATER!". They bought drinks and food. Looks like the sellers are earning much! And they were all energetic again, like a battery completely charged. And, you know girls, started chitty chatty again.

Well, as for the boys, they started off running, competing against one another. Some boys were quick and even surpassed the girls!!! AMAZING!But, this somehow put the girls to shame, eh? Well, they are BOYS, right? Well, they finished the race but somehow, still have the energy to walk around and talk and compare with their friends and to eat and drink until their tummies bulge out.

Everyone crowded at the canteen and after some time, the teachers started kicking them out of the canteen. Everyone then assembled according to their houses at the Dataran Bestari, and the cheerleaders of the school wow-ed everyone with stunts that seem impossible for any normal human can do. There were applauds and cheering and whoots from everyone! Then it's the prize giving!! The names of students who got the first top 20 got medals as well as the teachers! Everyone was happy with their achievements. Our class, Sanjiyven, apparently was one of the top twenty's! Yays to Sanjiyven!

Well, the celebration rounded off with games while majority of the students were busy taking pictures with their friends and and some were reading and chatting and sleeping on one another, waiting, and waiting, and waiting to go home. And then, everyone went home and it's bye bye time! So, yea everyone, TOODLES!

Peace out,

Father's Day

Yo, folks! It's father's day! So, everybody, what have you given to your old man? Presents? What kind of presents? The usual stuff: pen; wallet; cards; etc. Haih. Seems like it's never ending isn't it? First, it's Mother's Day, then, Father's Day, then, Someone's birthday, then, Merdeka day, then.....it REALLY is never ending..It just goes on and on and on and back again. Well, the pockets are all emptied as well, you know, to buy stuff for parents.

Our exams are over! HOORAY! BUT (why do we always have buts!?), and yeah, now is the time to worry about exam results! All of us are anxious to know, all of them did their best, but who knows what will happen in this class? After all, this class is the so called "smartest" in our form, whereas 2 Keruing is just as "smart", so we have many challenges and competition and obstacles awaiting us. and FUN too!

Well, I guess that's all for this post. We'll post soon, as we haven't been posting for a long, long time. Adios!

Peace out.

First Question

Dear Mr. Agony,


I like a guy. Lets call him A. He doesn't even seem to know I exist. I do everything I can think of to get his attention but to no avail.Unfortunately, he has set his sight on another girl. I am so jealous, its killing me. Then there's guy B. He worships the ground I walk on but the sight of him repulses me. HELP!!!!How do I get guy A to like me and get B off my back!!!

From:
A girl who seriously needs help =(





Dear girl,


So this A doesn't even seem to notice you? You know he likes someone else too. Aren't those good enough reasons to FIND ANOTHER GUY?!?! If you can't get him it's best to just go for someone else, he can't be THAT amazing, right? Or maybe you should try telling him you like him, or get a friend to help you ask. This would best be done right in front of the other girl he admires, that should pay her back for making A like her, as we all know revenge is sweet ...

Now for B. So this guy is lame, but have you ever thought he might be having the exact same problems like you? Perhaps the way you look at A and the way he looks at you are the same. If that's the case, you should know how he feels like. Give the dude a chance, or just tell him off if you really really really really REALLY can't stand him.

Hope this helps...if it doesn't I'm always ready to receive a beating.

Ideas

Most teenagers are suffering from what we call "pressure". In reality, this ain't as terrible as it sounds. Our "pressure" is caused by "love problems", most of the time. Then there are the REAL problems, such as family break-ups, bad influences and so on and so forth. Perhaps we need some kind of online counselling, for example a "Mr. Agony" thing (idea given by the one and only GENIUS girl-Sara).

For those who don't know what "Mr. Agony" is for, it's some kind of counselling thingy. All you have to do is type something like-"Dear Mr. Agony, My friends hate me because they think I'm a mouse, actually I think I'm more like a tiger, please help me!" And after a while, this mysterious, cool, problem-solving weirdo named Mr. Agony will reply and help you with your problems. Is this cool, or is this COOL?!

All your problems can be solved while just sitting in front of your computer screen! Holy cow! that's even better than getting free ice-cream!(personally I would prefer the ice-cream). So, whoever agrees on this can comment and reply. This helps YOU, this benefits YOU, YOUR problems are solved, YOUR worries are over!

P.S. Payment should be settled after service

just kidding XD


War out.

Above the Meranti Bush,

Mr. Agony
